#Samsung #GalaxyS21
Surprisingly, I liked S20’s camera in the blind camera test.
I also did.....
Same. The portrait was better on the s21 but color saturation was more pleasing on the s20
i too felt that way....
Me too
Me too
"Androids get slow" say that to my Galacy S7 which is still running great as I write this.
I miss my galaxy S8 greatest damn phone compared to S10 💩.
@@adamantium_1 dude come on, s10 plus was a great phone. broke my scren yesterday. using my s7 edge lol. will sell my s10 plus for s21
I actually broke my a70 that I bought 2 years ago after 2 months so I went back to my S7, and indeed it ran well. I just switched to s21 and it is a real great upgrade tho!
@@niekje7t after the s7, s21 for sure. huge. im still confused about whether to upgrade from s10plus
S9 plus was a good phone I miss it
14:12 your welcome.
LOL Thank you.
you're*
Lol me watching this on my 6 year old S7
@@Sam-vs5kg Same as you
@@Sam-vs5kg Same here, I am looking to finally upgrade and I am caught between the S21+ S20+, S20 FE, or the 8T. Kinda just hard to see myself spending so much on a phone when my S7 has carried me for years and still works well enough.
I bought the Galaxy S20 last year, and apart from the new design, I don't really see a reason to upgrade. The small S21 seems like a small step back in different aspects that I personally care about.
It's only worth upgrading to the ultra
Is yours the snapdragon or the exynos version?
@@danielgoh9158 The Snapdragon version~
@@gabegalleries ahh no wonder..
@@Morpheu I'd disagree. I mean yeah, Ultra got this periscope zoom but let's be honest. How often do you need a zoom bigger than 2 or 3? I bought the S20 for my fiancee last Christmas and the iPhone 12 Pro Max for myself about a month ago (switched from Note 10+) and I'd never recommend S21 if someone already got S10 or S20. It's a waste of your money for there's not enough improvements unless someone counts switching to plastic in S21 and S21+ as an improvement (which I doubt). Stick to your phones, guys, unless you really need to upgrade. I had to because of my job, otherwise I'd still be using my Note 10+
I thought B was the S21 as they looked better to me.
Same
Same
same, that will be my next phone now. With it's awesome zoom and the Mini SD Card for ease of use on memory transfer!
So why does everyone keep complaining about the saturation of samsung phones if they'll end up preferring it over a more natural looking photo. Beats me.
@@oluwaseyiodusanya2079 its personal preference
Some people like natural some people like more saturated photos
I liked s20's camera.. wow..
Same
same
Me too
Portrait mode
The s20 has the 1440p option whereas the s21 only has 1080p but where the s21 really shines is portrait mode
Fun Fact: Samsung makes photos more natural each year and Apple makes then more vibrant each year
are you a clown?
@@LordAngelus he's right
@@immocker how? Are you a clown too?
@@LordAngelus it's not hard to have an argument without resorting to insults.
@@mohammadmeu clown comments earn you insults. That's how it works.
I preferred the S20 to the S21's camera shots.
The one thing which these blind camera tests has always revealed is that...
In real life, people would always prefer the pictures with warmer notes and punchy contrasts, as opposed to the more natural looking ones, no one really cares about natural looks in real life... We just want what looks best... That's even why people use countless of filters on social media.
I guessed A. I’ve heard how they’ve worked on color accuracy and accurate saturation. Looks much more realistic, but looks more appealing on S20.
The more I see reviews of the base S21 model, the more I'm convinced that this is the variant I want over the S21+ and the S21 Ultra.
Why?
@@yuant1533 Yeah really why? Lol
I agree with you...Don't see a need for 100X Camera..that a gimmick...S-Pen Support..i would buy a Note..if i wanted S-Pen support...
Plastic Back Vs Glass...It's going to be in my Otterbox..you can't see the back of the phone..lol
So if you want the Ultra grab it, Show it off..enjoy it...But if you want a great phone , great price..long battery..get the S21 5G....
I went to Best Buy the other day and check out the s21 phones, I love the s21 it didn’t feel premium like he said.
The phone don’t look premium either but I like s21 designed more than the s20 the, s20 looks cheap that’s why I didn’t buy one. I’m going to miss Samsung pay I really didn’t use it that much tho!
But on the plus side the 120 and the flat screen the resolution of the screen is just fine with me, I pre-ordered the s21 it should be here tomorrow now seeing the plus model in person I’m having second thoughts.
I have to ask myself $281 extra dollars for 5 more inches is it really worth it!
Same! Totally want it over the iPhone 12. I'm getting the $799 S21 this year.
Interesting I pick the S 20 as the ones on the left look like they just brightened it up a lot but didn’t look like how it would seem in real life if that makes sense
lol the pics from s21 are more true to life.
Yeah..and better hdr too
I guessed B all the way thru. They just look better to me. ✌
that's the point with opting for more saturated processing, looks better online
Same here 😬.. I selected B also for almost all the pictures
Same haha
There may have been just a couple of pics from the A side that were better. Definitely majority B side thou. ✌
To me the S21 images look over saturated
got it right, but actually prefer the less exposed pictures of the S20
Samsung did the SD card removal again!!! Hopefully they make a fan edition version with a microsd card. Personally I have no issue with the slower speeds of an SD card if it means I can have a large amount of bulk storage independent of my phone.
samsung its slowly turning in to apple 😩
13:50 You said the S21 battery life was "close" to what you got on the S20, but you didn't mention the exact running time you got.
i figured A was the s21 just because samsung started moving away from that oversaturated look a little
I definitely liked the pictures of the S21 more since the colors looked more realistic and not as saturated and there wasnt as much overexposure
Same here
Same. I'm happy that the S21 has more true to life colors
Most people just pick the one with more saturation...
Same with TVs in the store, where humans look red in the face lol.
Did we watch the same review? The s20 is actually more true to life. The s21 is more saturated
@@868techtv stop capping bro
Several features I'd absolutely miss from S20 that Samsung shouldn't have taken away from S21:
SD card slot: I already have several 512 sd cards for my camera, drone, laptop, older phones. (The base storage is 128g on S21, ffs. For reference, one minute of 8K video is 0.6g)
MST on Samsung Pay: I won several free meals from store owners who bet that Samsung Pay wouldn't work on their credit card machine. (I don't carry my wallet on a short trip.)
Smaller size: I wouldn't underestimate 2mm width difference.
Welp, I indeed fell for the S20 pictures. Noticeable difference.
Finally someone made a video comparing basic modes
I answered B to all! I also don't want to give up micro sd and love my phantom blue S20!
Cloud blue!
Phantom colours are for the s21 not the s20
I thought the S20 (B) was just a bit better. I thought they had more detail, slightly sharper image and I thought the S21 (A) was a little overexposed.
yea, exactly what I saw.
The s20 plus is awesome almost perfect. I'll even go as far as saying flawless a+. But the s21 is beautiful. Also fast.
wow....I preferred the S20's camera in the blind test
I'm upgrading my galaxy s7 edge to s21.
THAT UPGRADE.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I actually think the S21 looks a lot more pleasing when it comes to the details. The S20 is maybe a little more punchy with the colors, but I like the more true-to-life look. Samsung's cameras still produce vibrant, colorful images, but they get more accurate every year.
S21 photos looked more natural
Yeap, too many compromises. I'll keep my note 20 ultra for at least a couple of years
A cool phone u have got there
How about a comparison between S20 FE and the S21?
Thank you Jon. This is what I've needed. Unfortunately, there aren't many videos up talking about the regular s21 right now. So I really appreciate it. Keep up the good work!
I really like S21 over S20 (I' currently owning that) on various parameters, especially the huge back panel, kinda appears sturdy. But I believe s20 does perform very well even it's getting 3 years since release and can use it for another 1-2 years
A shows Samsung dialed down their "look", good improvement
The S22's just be revealed and I still don't know whether or not to upgrade from my S20. It looks and runs the same as the day I got it, what will I even notice in day to day
Haha! Was back and forth with the pics. I totally thought they’d be mixed up to mess with us some!
I had preordered the S21 and was trading in my S20 for it, until i found out that the S21 had taken out SD card option, so that was something i did not want to compromise so i cancelled my order. Im happy with my S20 and 1TB SD card, the minimal difference between both phones not enough for me to want to upgrade especially since they took out alot options from new S21, If you have an S20 seems more like a downgrade
I have the S10e and still don't worth it to upgrade IMO!
Traded it for the S7, and it was totally worth it then!
If Samsung makes a S21 Ultra Mini... With same specs but smaller screen and size, I would DEFINITELY upgrade for it! The S21 is just not enough for me to consider, and the S21 Ultra is huge!
Maybe next year!
Love my s10e
I've still got my s10
My s10 plus.. Headphone jack, 512gb plus 512 micro sd uncrackable ceramic back, has higher PPI then the s21 ultra. Symmetrical back camera placement..
Yeah, that's back when samsung was the real iphone competitor. Now they're just the followers......smh
No 120 hz ,no zoom lenses ,no increased brightness, no 5g bandwidth, no 5000amp battery, no adaptive display,no software updates after an year, slow security updates 😉
@@prashathhs5845 after day 1 I prob won't play with the zoom and macro lens. Some prefer higher resolution than refresh rate. S10 is plenty bright.. I always get a days worth of battery life.. Perfect size screen feels right in the hand not so big that causes carpal tunnel.. Best part is that in a way I will save $1400.
@@prashathhs5845 The 120hz is overrated. I have it on my note 20U and I rather have the better resolution at 60hz. The batteries are about the same but having a zoom lens is kinda useful. However, not as useful as having an sd card expansion
@@prashathhs5845 5g overrated
Get the s20+ instead, it's pretty much the same price as a s21
its too big
@@JB-xm8qi thats what she said.
@@Joe_doesnt_know nope.
@@JB-xm8qi No regular phones are too small but then again I am 6'5 250 lbs with big hands so I always used bigger sized phones
@@WaynesTW damn... you are BIG. always had auto crush for big guys haha ;)
The comparison I've been waiting for. Thank you sir
This particular review is the reason why I bought the S21, I can say I don't regret it.
I've upgraded every gen since S9+, but might end up sticking with my S20+ as I really use the MicroSD slot. Also, it took me several months to upgrade s10 to s20 because their upgrade portal just stopped working for me and it took them ages to fix, so now my upgrade window is like June rather than March...
Agreed 100%, Sticking with my s20+
Ohh yeah even the newer Exynos will not make me upgrade!
exactly; the micro SD is the reason to stay.
Get the 256GB model..and if you still using a Micro SD...wow....good for you..Stick to the old phones..cause they are getting rid of SD Card Slots..that's all upcoming phones...
So i guess you will have the S20 for a long time....lol
@@Maiasgameroom me too
I usually update every year, but theres just not enough for me to spend the money to buy this years gen. I love photos, but I need more than just the camera to convince me. For right now, I'm happy with my S20+ 😁
This year it’s a downgrade at least the regular and + models....
how is battery performance on S20 plus, as i also want to buy it but only battery performance issue makes me worry .
What kind of s20+ you have exynos or SD cuz my crapy exynos s20+ doesn't even last 17h or 7h it literally dies in 5h
@@StarLightFilmProductions my s20 exynos lasts 4h30min screen on time.
@@bhardwajdimpy Has been pretty good on mine. I have the Snapdragon variation, and I get 6-7 hours of screen on time on average. No complaints.
Honestly, who is really considering an upgrade from S20 to S21? I cannot imagine many people really doing it or been in the position to do so... And yet many reviewers take that angle. The majority want to know what is better/worse of the new device or even if getting the older device right now at half the price is a better deal...
Cant believe they got rid of the sd card
Right!?
I love your reviews! Totally shocked you didn't mention a deal killer for a lot of people...they removed the headphone jack on the S21!
I liked the S20 pictures more than the ones from S21
You forgot to compare ram. S20 12 GB of ram vs S21 8GB ram.
12 gb just in USA
Only s20 5 G have 12..
I’m upgrading from an S9 to an S21 plus and although I agree it’s a shame they are removing choice, I can’t say I’ve ever actually ran the S9 at 1440p purely because of the battery life
There's tons of videos of tests that show that you lose less than 1% of battery using 1440p vs 1080p in a complete discharge and real life use.
Literally negligible at the lowest level which makes battery life "gains" a complete cheap excuse to use 1080p.
Thank you for the video. Got my S20 Plus a bit over a month ago and was itching to get the S21, but your comparison convinced me that an upgrade is not yet worth it. I'm sure I'll be happy with my S20 for the next couple years.
Rl
Got them right! Selfie gave it away thanks to no beauty mode.
7:15 Biggest design leap has been the Samsung S8.
Just wait for the update and have the s21 in your s20
What do you mean?
I think Samsung weren't really going for a big upgrade, like they did with the s8 and s9
yes i think they copied apple this time for small incremental changes, to consolidate existing tech (actually went back with display resolution) rather than improve vastly.
Notice the S8 and S9 are similar and S20 and S21.
S10: Cries in corner.
@@techbetold ha ha apple never changes anything. Lile literally all reviews say the only change is is like .4 sec faster which human eye cant tell
@@techbetold but 1080p is good for battery life
@@user-po8vd5gp5w don't use your phone is good to battery life too
Well, Samsung makes it pretty easy to switch from S20 to S21 for 100 bucks.
Fun fact: I can buy a used s20 (Almost new condition) cheaper than the pixel 4a in my country 🙂!
"Android has always been about choice..."
Not no more
Any difference with the speakers or do they sound pretty much the same?
I think all phones has hit the peak just my take
Yes!
Hello great video ☺️ i have a pixel 5 . You say the s21 is close to that now . But how abouts selfies?? Skin tones etc is it just as good as pixel . And what about portrait pictures compared to the pixel 5 in your opinion whats best ??))🌄🌄🌄🌄🌻
Thank you I am convinced ! I love my s20 but I woke up a morning and saw the $700 trade in value for the s21. I couldn't resist since it was just $95 for the 128gb to upgrade BUT ! First I didn't know the s21 didn't have sd cards... so I opted for the 256gb which came out to $146. My second issue is the RAM coming from the s20 with 12gb I am disappointed that the s21 only comes witg 8gb of RAM.. other than the sd card and low ram I am happy to have made the switch. I like the s21 design and the plastic back cover ! Finally No more glass in the back !
Is there any difference in camera quality between Snapdragon & Exynos variant?
i think S20 was better
I still have the S9 plus and looking to upgrade. Should I upgrade to the 20 or the 21?
Same situation with me.. And i am happy with my s9 and also my sd card
Same I got a S8 and looking for an upgrade too
We suppose to be going forward not backwards. And samsung is taking away sd card slot . What are they thinking?😪
SD is SLOW as hell compared to new internal UFC. Some things don't even work at all on SD anymore.
People bitched and moaned when they removed floppy and optical drives from laptops too. Times change and so does tech. Adapt.
I almost don't make any photos or videos at all
I don't have any reason to, except when I am on vacation abroad
and I don't even know what saturation is, and I wouldn't tell any difference between a photo shot on a 10 year old phone vs latest phone
even before the lockdown I rarely went outside and when I did, it was to buy groceries
Coming from an older phone I'm getting the S20 now at about half the price of the S21, with none of the compromises of the S21 (Lower res screen, no micro-sd, plastic build, no charger or headphones in box...)
You can get a new S20 for 500 or 600 dollars online. I've seen some refurbished from around 450
Great and helpful review. How about a camera comparison of all the camera between the s21 and the ultra. That would help a lot.
The ultra camera is better but the s21 wide angle is just a bit wider than the ultra.
MST is one of the most helpful features I use on my Galaxy S9, especially these day. What was Samsung's stated reason form removing this feature on the S21 line of phones?
I dunno but MST is still there in every market except the US and India
I thought it’s security concerns. MST is less secure than NFC (I could be wrong)
I can't remember the last time I needed MST. Everywhere I go accepts mobile payments.
I'm okay with the 1080p screen. Screen replacements for 1440p is too high. Even a Note 5 screens still going for $100. Only downside I really see is the microSD card reader. I bought a S20 FE with a cracked screen and replaced the screen for $120 nearly the price for a Note 5 screen. $300 is too much for a screen replacement on a S20, S10, S9, and so on.
I guessed right, mainly for the less saturation on the 21.
I think it’s such a waste to spend 800 to 1200 dollars on a phone just to replace it in 12 months. I try to use my phones for at least 3 years.
If you're paying full retail price on any Samsung phone you are not doing life right.
@@Mamo878 true
I normally upgrade about every 2 years and even then I get my phone on eBay. I refuse to pay Msrp from the carrier or from the manufacturer like Samsung.
Just cracked my screen on my s20 plus and was thinking about upgrading. But I'll happily just get my screen fixed now.
i looked at the spec sheets comparing the two between s20 and s21, and im leaning towards the s20. yeah im looking to get into wildlife photography but i am not going to spend 600 refurbished for a s21 when i can get a more saturated color scheme and faster ram, more battery life, higher density pixel display, and higher MP camera s20 with a price of 450 refurbished. i want an upgrade from my galaxy j7 star and im looking deep into the s20. i can get a case that will cover over the waterfall edge so i wont have to deal with accidental touches. those who think they need a phone that will shoot in 8k really dont need it. i barely need anything shooting in 4k. truth be told after having typed this all out, i honestly dont even need a new phone, i just feel a desire to upgrade. idk how to feel about that...
I picked B but I’m still getting A
🤣
Love how natural you sound and how you speak its very enjoyable to listen to
I just pre-ordered the S21. I haven't had a Samsung since the S4. I remember rooting that phone and running a custom ROM because of the software issues after a few months. I've always liked that Samsung kinda pushes the hardware department but I've never been a fan of their software. I'm glad they seem to be remedying a lot of their shortcomings. Coming from a Pixel 3, I was most concerned about the camera but it seems like Samsung does seem to be catching up in that department.
Samsung camera is better than Pixel imo. I did a blind comparison with 10 of my friends between the S20 and Pixel 5 and all of them liked the S20 photos more. Samsung phones are really the best for me. They are the most consistent with all aspects across the board
1:17 There is a definite difference there. Phone B was able to capture your sunglasses, the other one missed them.....and it distorted your smile too...
yeah, I'm 99 percent sure that the s20 is better
Based off your video just by looking at the comparison photos, the s20 the colors and contrast looks more balanced. The s21 (left pics) washed out by the light, like the brightness is set to high
Yep the s21 is a good phone, but if you have s10. is it worth for a upgrade for 800 dollar. no thanks
you mean downgrade lol
@@RodolphosTechchannel Dont be harsh against Samsung lol. Yeah your right. it is a downgrade. Hope that S22 not will be the same disappointment
If u trade your s10 plus through Sam it's only 550 for the ultra 256
@@b321km Yeah in US.
@@b321km for the ultra, not the normal s21. Of course the ultra is a much better upgrade
So the on exynos version photos could be completely different?
this made me decide to upgrade to s20 (snapdragon) instead of s21. man, s20 specs wise is better than s21. the only thing that is better on s21 is the new processor.
Same here. Im thinking ill get the S20. Tho i may just wait till next year and see if they can actually upgrade the S20
Hoping for
1440p/120hz, re-introduce expandable storage. 12gb-16gb ram. Thats it.
Going with a note 20 instead, better experience

Why is Jon Rettinger saying there is no Samsung Wallet and NFC Tap to pay in the s21? I've just searched it as he said that and there is evidence that the s21 has tap to pay and an NFC reader.
B looks clear and more sharper to me!
So which is best ?
If i came from an s20, i'm not going to switch. But coming from an S8 and an S10, i think it's better to switch to the S21
Hmmm. I thought the s20 pics were nicer. Not sure I want to move from my pixel 3 or not though =S
Have to say I prefer the S20 photos.
I really loved the more true to life colors on the S21
I have an S20+ and am really considering getting the S21 Ultra. I think it's a pretty considerable upgrade
It's heavier if you don't mind
How did the fingerprint sensor perform?
I've seen more, on another channel photos and videos from s21 - s20 - s10, s21 comes out best
Anyone who has a S20 and some logic would not upgrade to a S21.
I will stay on S20+ this year 🇵🇰
🇵🇰🇵🇰
Me too

🇮🇳🇮🇳
Did you photo shoot in Irvine ? these places looks familiar :)
i said s20 i am getting the s21 - im sad now
So are the sensors on the S21 physically bigger?
I just hope the S22 introduces expandable storage as a feature 🙄.
😂😂
I guessed B as well amazing s20 is
I noticed right away that A has more dynamic range than. So I assumed that A was the Galaxy S21. But B photos are still impressive considering it's last year Galaxy S20.
The HDR it's crazy good in the S21
I just got a brand new unlocked s10 plus from Walmart online. Best flagship from 2019 still continues on in 2021. The s20 and s21 are disappointments especially the s21 now with no sd card. If you take the sd card away, your base storage should at least be 1tb !!!! I literally have 1tb of storage on my s10 plus using an sd card.
